This Keto Chicken and Biscuit Casserole recipe came to be because, after tasting my keto buttermilk biscuits, the Mr announce that he would really like me to make a chicken pot pie topped with them.
To be honest I was a little shocked because he had told me in the past that he wasn't a big pot pie fan. But, when I questioned him about this fact, he explained that he can't stand the frozen chicken pot pies that we all grew up eating.
I guess he was burnt out on them?
I have a hard time understanding that because they are still one of the comfort foods I crave from my childhood.
But, I do love me some chicken with biscuits and gravy so I was super happy to come up with something to fill the craving he was having.
This Keto Chicken and Biscuit Casserole recipe is a combination of chicken pot pie, chicken and biscuits, and a casserole, all rolled into one delicious and easy-to-make skillet dinner.
